EBPIEICIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,326, dated August 12, 1884. Application filed April 11, i884. (No model.)

T0 [0 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT J. SOHORR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and use- 1111 Improvements in Riding-Saddles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvementin riding-saddles, in which a reversible horn is attached to an ordinary riding-saddle, so that the same may be used as an ordinary ridingsaddle, and by the reversing of the attached horn intlie manner hereinafter specified it. can be changed into a ladys riding-saddle. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a view of the saddle-tree with the horn A in unfinished condition. Fig. 2 is a front view of the saddle-tree with the horn A in place and raised or reversed. Fig.3 is a view of the horn A. hinged to the movable block B, which is to slide into the saddle, and has the terret attachment 0 on the side, by which it is held or fastened witha pin, so that it may be held in place. Fig. 4 is the plate D, permanently screwed to the saddle-tree, through which the pin, after passing through the metallic cylinder or terret G, fastened to the horn A, enters, holding the horn in either of its positions. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the saddle in its finished eondition,ready for use.

The horn A is hinged on a sliding bar, 13, which bar slides through a slot in the front of the saddle-frame, so that the hornA draws out the sliding bar and rests on the same when in position for use, and returns the sliding bar B into the slot when the horn A is reversed and not in use or taken fromthe saddle. There is also a perforated plate, D, fastened to the side of the saddle-front, with a perforated cylinder or ferret, C, fastened on the side of the horn A, and a movable metallic pin is inserted through the perforated cylinder or terret O and into the perforated plate D upon the saddle-front, so that the horn A may be held firmly in place either in use or when not in use. A

1 claim as my invention- In aridiug-saddle, the horn provided with means, substantially as described, whereby it may be removed or reversed in its position, as set forth.
